[There’s a clicking noise, then a burst of static, before a moment of silence. A male voice speaks first, recognizable as Greg’s.] Did it work?

[A female speaks up.] Is it a plant? No. How should I know if it works? Mine got eaten by the Hungry Vine.

[A third voice speaks up, a new male.] He was asking in general, not you, Abbot. And yeah, I

PR?

[Matthew is leaning back on a stool and nods.]

Public relations. They're the ones that are supposed to be doing this sh-- Helping out. They're not. And I am too being professional enough, Greg...

[A snort is heard off-camera.]

[Voice]

[dreammaren]

So~ Why did you agree to do it instead?

[Voice]

[adstring_npc]

[Matthew winks at the camera.]

Out of the goodness of our hearts? Nah, that's bull. Because the assh-- Stop glaring at me, Greg. I'm helping, aren't I?

Because it's supposed to be done and it wasn't getting done.

[Voice]

[dreammaren]

Sounds like a boring job. I guess it comes with working with some stuffy people, right?

[Voice]

[adstring_npc]

Talk about stuffy.

[Matthew shakes his head.]

Arrogant windbags, half of them, and the other half are too busy with their little projects and toys. But it's not all bad.

[Voice]

[dreammaren]

Those all sound like rather large downsides, i'm surprised that you haven't gone crazy from boredom.

What are the good points to wherever you are then? Or is that some big secret?

[Video]

[adstring_npc]

Well, I am a wild and crazy guy! But I've got my projects.

[Matthew grins.]

Most of it's secret. But I won't deny the swimming pool has its upsides.

[Voice]

[dreammaren]

Wild and crazy over stuffy and tiresome any day. At least you have something to do, I guess, better than out here.

Lucky~

[Video]

[adstring_npc]

We've got all sorts of things to do.

Very. Squid-free swimming, I'll take that any day.

[Video]

[dreammaren]

Sharing is caring, you know. Couldn't you slip something out to perk this place up a bit more?

What's a squid though?

[Video]

[adstring_npc]

[Matthew smirks widely]

I do bugs. I don't think you want them running around. But I can see about sending some out.

What's a squid? If you go jump in that lake out there, you'll find out pretty da-- fast.

[Video]

[dreammaren]

They'd make things much more interesting out here~

I try to avoid making a habit out of jumping into unknown waters. I'll just assume it's dangerous.

[Video]

[adstring_npc]

Well, if you're sure...

[Matthew walks over to a small cage in the corner and brings it over, showing several large preying-mantis-looking things. Except they're red, and have another pair of legs.]

I call this baby the Bleeding Mantis. You want me to let loose a few?

It's dangerous and big. It was here before we were, it looks like.

[Video]

[dreammaren]

Bleeding Mantis? Because of the colour?

If those things were here before then they might come back one day anyway. How big is big though?

[Video]

[adstring_npc]

The color, and what they feed on.

[Matthew smirks.]

I mean it showed up before we were here, and he's still here. Big is like train or something. Really big.
